		1870 Census from Obion county TN. Harriet has the last name of Boyd, is in the household of D. Montgomery along with daughter Laura and sons William and Robert. Need to investigate if D. Montgomery was the last slaveholder. Harriet has a son named Robert, however, her husband Robert is not listed. Harriet shows up in the 1880 census, as Harriet Williams. This census information doesn't match our oral history but is presumed as being correct until disproven.
